Immich iOS app ; 2000+ photos with same date, long after being processed.

Not entirely sure what's happened here. I have gone through every single one of my photos over the last twelve months and put them into albums. At some point, I don't know when, something has crapped itself and I now have 2000+ photos dated on the 29th & 30th of August 2024. These photos come from a variety of sources; sent to me via WhatsApp or ones I've taken myself and not sent to anyone.

It seems totally random in nature. Photos I know where taken on my birthday in 2023, 20 of them that were sent via WhatsApp all have random times for those two dates.

This is some raw data of a photo sent to me via WhatsApp that does not have the issue.

The date on it is 16 May 2024 20:17 GMT + 03:00

Interestingly, both photos have the location I would have set manually. So whatever has happened has only affected dates, not all data assigned to this photo.
I've found the same photo in my iPhone and it has the correct date assigned to it.

Fixing this manually will be troublesome, for holiday photos, easy enough, but ones of my daughter from when she was a baby is going to be extremely difficult.
Is there a way to blow these photos away and have them scrape from my phone again? Adding them to albums is far easier than trying to fix the date.

I have marked 6 as done however I have obviously not added it (yaml) as don't feel it's relevant for the request of deleting and re-adding. Should you feel it pertinent I will happily provide.
